Jason--with one of my surveys (I think it was the overcharge one) I got an error message as well after the last screen--I responded to the original e-mail, but I don't know if that goes to you or what; my email sucks and doesn't always tell me when things weren't delivered. Not that it's that import...

I got a call from the Maryland Attorney General's consumer fraud division on Wednesday (12/4). My roommate: Dude, you have a message from the Attorney General! Me: Aaaah! Is it bad? Her: Um... I don't think so. I didn't listen too close. I was trying to figure out if I had applied for a job there, b...

I second what everyone else said... Visa's provisionally credited me; after enough time without a response from AU indicating that the charges are legitimate (or, in the fanciful alternative, a response from AU that the charges aren't legitimate, which would of course be accompanied by a fleet of ai...

My Amazon order says "shipping soon" now, but my "delivery estimate" still says November 11th. When I e-mailed Amazon to ask them if it could be updated (i.e., so that I know if I need to ask my neighbor to take in the mail so the box doesn't sit on my stoop for six days while I'm visiting my parent...

It's my understanding that this isn't legal. To respond specifically to lance 's arguments in particular, the "first sale" doctrine doesn't cover this. "First sale" means that once you've bought the disc, the copyright owner can't prevent you from selling it on e-bay or giving it to your brother-in-...

He sued Marvel pro se? That strikes me as rather foolhardy--I know nothing about comics, but aren't they a rather large, well-established company? I would imagine that they'd have in-house counsel and the ability to hire remarkably competent outside counsel... going up against that as a pro se litig...

Pigs could fly and hell could freeze over, but I STILL would not uncancel my order. I don't think AU could pay me enough to do business with them again. So in lieu of the option "For the love of all that is good and decent in the world, HELL NO," I'll have to just say No.

I put my charges into dispute with my (new best) friends at Visa today, since AU totally failed to provide me with any kind of actual cancellation confirmation and has, surprise, not refunded my money. My issuer is First USA. Like any big company, you get slightly different answers from everyone you...

Oh, I don't think it's that they're not noting the cancellations--I think it's just that they're just not particularly interested in processing the accompanying refunds. They're certainly well aware that I've cancelled, they're just taking their own sweet time with my money. I'm going to sic Visa on...

Hey libellina17, can you post a link to that part of the site? (I can't seem to find it, probably because I'm still in a pre-coffee haze...)

I was in the same boat and called yesterday to cancel; whoever I spoke to said it was in fact already cancelled and that they were "working on an email to send out about that." Bah. Boneheads. The guy all but hung up on me before I could ask anything else and was obviously no help about when I'd get...

Has anyone tried to cancel this week and actually succeeded? (Or had any kind of contact in response?) My various attempts (email, Drygrass form) have gone unacknowledged and I'm wondering if anyone's had better luck and by what method. So much for cancellation as a means of freeing up the time I sp...

I've got a Visa with First USA. When I've called them bunches of times ("What the hell is this comicstore.com charge?

Martin , it's been about a million years since I took French in school, but am I correct in remembering that in French you have serie singular and series plural? In English, the singular and plural are the same: series. My dictionary (which isn't the best) is a little fuzzy on exactly why that is. ...

I cancelled today (Sunday) so I'll wait and see if I get an e-mail letting me know it's gone through. My reasons are, in order: 1. I'm a student with truly massive educational debt, about to get laid off from my term-time job and currently without immediate prospects of post-graduation employment. 2...
